Rating: - THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TV
I think the people who find problems with this Excellent HDTV Monitor TV suffer from failing to read the Manual or just lack common sense. I purchased this set instead of the CT-34WX50 primarily because [of the price]. Since owning the CT-32HX40 along with the TU-HDS20 HDTV/DTV Digital Tuner I have enjoyed exceptional TV viewing and it influenced me to purchase the CT-34WX50 and additional TU-HDS20's when the Wide Screen's price came down and went on sale. My CT-34WX50 now resides connected to my Pioneer Elite Home Theater System consisting of VSX-39TX A/V Receiver, DV-38A Pure Cinema Progressive Scan Reference DVD Player(each one hooked up to the CT-34WX50's Component Video Input), M-10X EX Amplifier, two DV-F07 301 Disk DVD Players, DVR-7000 DVD Recorder, PDR-W37 CD Recorder, CT-07D Digital Double Auto-Reverse Cassette Deck, two PD-F27 301 Disk CD Players, my trusty Dual 1264 Turntable (still have lots of old LP's), and two Panasonic PV-VS4821 S-VHS VCR's housed in two 56.1" high Gloss Black Pioneer Component Racks. All this equipment delivers sound through a Definitive Technology High-End Speaker System. My mother has inherited the CT-32HX40 and TU-HDS20 and loves it and will soon inherit the VSX-39TX and M-10X when I upgrade to a Pioneer Elite VSZ-49TX.
In closing I see no evidence to suggest any of the problems occurred by these people and my suggestion is that if you are in the market for an HDTV you can't go wrong with this set.

Rating: - great TV
I am not sure why people are having so much trouble with this TV, I loved it the minute I saw it displayed, and I went got one.
So far it has been great, but it does require good source. Bad source, bad picture, like the one metioned below. If you are feeding VCR signal to the TV, how can you expect good quality pictures?

I don't have red push or greenish problems, everything look sharp. Red push can be resolved by tuning the TV with avia tools.

Rating: - Good TV, but too many problems.
The set that I have is one of the better ones (?) except for the geometry problem mentioned by Steve Bourgeois's review and the slight red push.

Other than that, you cannot save picture settings for each input. So if you change settings for DVD and then watch regular TV, you have to readjust your settings.

I would recommend the Sony XBR450 model. It's a bit more expensive but I think it is a more consistent model. I have the 36" in the living room and it's great.
